Item Restricted Benefits of Biophilic Design : Incorporated in the Interior Office Spaces of Urban Environments(2023) Chiara Margot Sorgato; Anwandter, Juan Almarza; Goodwin, Amara; Faculty of Architecture and Design; Berlin International University of Applied SciencesAUTHOR-SUPPLIED ABSTRACT: Abstract Humans have long aimed to improve their habitat and workplaces to increase their comfort and productivity. These advancements are built on technological progress that enhanced inhabitants' health and well-being but paid little attention to the more subtle form of Biophilic Design. With the increasing urbanization and the rise of poor working environments, the biggest issue is losing connection to green spaces and nature-related features, especially in workplaces. A radical change in the way we contextualize interior office spaces is imperative. Biophilic Design has numerous positive aspects and effects on various levels and thus can provide the answer to this urge; a solution. This research aims to understand and define the benefits of Biophilic Design incorporated in the Interior Office Spaces of Urban Environments. The thesis will be split into two parts, theoretical and practical, by applying the knowledge and studying different cases. This thesis aims to demonstrate how including Biophilic Design in different approaches in urban settings and workplaces can enhance employee well-being, creativity, and capacity. Keywords: habitat, workplaces, comfort, productivity, technological progress, biophilic design, urbanization, green spaces, nature-related features, employee well-being, creativity, capacity, interior office spaces, urban environmentsItem Restricted Exploring the Efficacy of E-governments Models Through Information Systems Management : The Case of Emerging Economies, Denmark(2022) Aytan Ibadullahzada; Artinger, Florian; Koç, Hasan; Faculty of Business Administration; Berlin International University of Applied SciencesAUTHOR-SUPPLIED ABSTRACT: Abstract: E-governance was developed so that the government could directly interact with the citizens. As the nation's government, communicating with the citizens is an unavoidable duty. This can lead to better security and accuracy in the services, reduced corruption rates, better comfort, and higher transparency. Information Systems Management is regarded as an application of information technologies such that the major operations and functions of the public or private sectors can be managed. Previously, in the traditional systems, the organisations had to emphasise the management of the resources like employees, capital, raw materials and others. However, at present, one of the most important assets of the organisation is data. Global usage of the technologies has helped public and private organisations utilise the technologies to reach out to more people. The usage of the e-governance models have improved the processes considerably and have an immense impact on the operations of the government of the countries. However, it is not enough to address the issues which the countries face due to the utilisation of private information. The research explores how implementing information system management can help improve the effectiveness of the e-government models in Denmark. Denmark has been selected as a country for conducting the research as it is considered to be one of the most technologically sound countries making use of the technologies for the benefit of the people of the nation. The research developed with the help of Denmark as an example shall help in understanding how the implementation of the information system management processes shall improve the usage of the e-government models in other nations as well and how the same can be implemented for the improvement of the same.

Approximately 50,000 children, teenagers, and young adults in Germany grapple with incurable, life-limiting diseases, resulting in around 5,000 annual deaths (Lang 2021, 14). Families of these children, devoid of the resources of a professional institution at home, dedicate themselves to care, impacting their personal and social lives negatively (Poulsen and others 2017, 73). Children's hospices play a crucial role in supporting affected families from the moment of diagnosis, aiming to alleviate emotional stress for the entire family. This research delves into the significance of hospice facilities in providing comfort and growth opportunities for children in their final stage of life. Unlike conventional hospitals, which often exude a cool and sterile atmosphere, hospices strive to create environments that prioritize the well-being of the child. The interior architecture of these spaces should not only facilitate medical care but also provide room for personal growth and play, recognizing the unique needs of children facing life-limiting diseases.
